It just makes things easier. I'm probably the minority, but I read more manga than watch anime, so it gets to be a pain to go through pages and pages of anime suggestion threads.

Manga suggestion board would be dead like manga discussion.

I'm going to support this for efficiency, although I doubt it'd be implemented since it caters to a rather small minority.

...and for such a huge community as MAL even small part of it will be relatively big
So I'm all for it

I personally don't mind the forum board splitting up, but I would love to see the anime and manga recommendations that are displayed in the panel to be separated and shown individually. It would result in faster orientation, IMHO.

You can use the "search" option to look for threads that have "manga" in it in a specific board. Assuming a thread in Anime/Manga Recs has the word "manga" it is bound to be a recommendation for manga.

You can also ask for a recommendation for a manga if need be...
"Looking for a manga that has _____..."

Pretty much this, just make sure you search the keyword "Manga" under "Posts", not "Threads". Otherwise, you might miss quite a few.

Yeah, I'm aware of the search function. It's just largely inefficient sometimes, and a lot of times I'm not really looking for anything in particular.

The thing also about making/browsing for new manga rec threads is that anime specific threads will always drown you out due to the ratio of those who do not read any manga compared to those that do and the amount of activity "more popular" threads have.

By simply searching the keyword "Manga" in the recommendations board, you won't be getting any particular results, other than the manga recommendations. I do not quite understand what you mean there.
